BREAD-RAISING OVEN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,095, dated February 2l, 1882.

Application filed November 28, 1831. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, LEWIs B. MORGAN, ot' West Liberty, inthe county ot' Ohio and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in BreadRaising Ovens,

Whichimprovementis fully set forth in the following specitication and accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of ro the oven proper together with the heating apparatus in position, and Fig. 2 a sectional view of the heating apparatus.

The object and purpose ot1 my invention is to facilitate the raising of bread-dough previous i 5 and preparatory to baking the same into bread.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the top of the rectangular oven, which said oven is to be constructed ot' tin, sheetiron, or other suitable material,

B is the door of the oven, which works on hinges, and may be opened and closed at pleasure.

C is a handle, of which there are two, one at each end of the oven, l'or lifting and moving the same; D, a sliding shelf for receiving the paus or vessels containing the dough 5 E, the bottom of the oven proper; F, a circular pan or vessel, of castiron or-other suitable metal, resting on three legs, G G, containing a movable solid circular body, of iron or other suitable metal, :fitting loosely into and almost tilling the said pan or vessel, the whole being covered by a movable lid larger than the vessel, having a rim or lange, E, projecting over 3 5 the outer sides and fitting closely thereto, all

round the outer sides of the said vessel.

The invention relates particularly to the rectangular oven A G B, the adjustable shelf D, the heating pan or vessel F, and the circu-v 4o lar solid body, ot' iron or other suitable metal or material, tttin g loose] y into the heating pan or vesselF and resting upon brackets or shoulders on the inside of the pan or -vessel, which hold said solid body or disk free and clear of all parts of the interior ot' the pan or vessel,

nesses.

` thus allowing the free circulation of' air all around the in terior of the said pan ork vessel between it and the sides of the said solid ci rcular body or disk, t-he top thereof being in Contact with the interior of the movable lid J 5o and on a plane with the top of the sides of the said pan or vessel.

Fig. 2 represents a sectional view ot' this heating pan or vessel closed and all of its parts in proper position. F, the sides of the heating-pan, tapers slightl).y inward and downward.

G represents one of 'the legs. H is one ot' the brackets or shoulders on the inside ofthe pan, which supports the circular body or disk. 6o The solid circular body or disk is to be heated to the proper temperature and placed in the heating pan or vessel F, which is then closed by the lid J and the Whole put into the oven. The pans 0r vessels containing the dough are 65 then placed on the sheltl D and the door B ot the oven closed, thus retaining the heat within the oven and sendingl it round and through the dough to be raised.

K K represent ventilators or registers for 7o the oven, placed at any desired point iu the ends.

Haviugdescribed my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1S* 75 The combination of the oven A B O, having the sliding shelf D, With the healing pan or vessel F, having the movable lid J, the inside shoulders or brackets H, and the removable circular body or disk I, as shown, all con- 8o structed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

` In testimony that I claim the toregoingI have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of I November, A. D. 1881, in the presence of wit- Lnvvls B. MORGAN.
